The Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (French: Bureau d'enquêtes et d'analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile, BEA) is an agency of the French government, responsible for investigating aviation accidents and incidents and making safety recommendations based on what is learned from those investigations.

[5] Since 1 January 2014, the head of the BEA has been Rémi Jouty, engineer general of the Bridges, Waters and Forests,[6] succeeding Jean-Paul Troadec.

[8][9] The BEA building is located in front of the French Air and Space Museum and houses offices and laboratories.

They include hangars and protected areas with a combined total of 6,000 square metres (65,000 sq ft) of space.

[12] At one time the head office of the Bureau d'Enquêtes-Accidents (as it was known before 2001, and is still frequently if loosely referred to) was in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
